🏆 Wins[edit]
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/Monthly_notable_accomplishments
- May '22 edition
- Our long, grinding efforts at deployment training are finally starting to result in more people doing deploys (well, ok, they've resulted in Clare doing deploys, anyway) \o/
- Rolled back train five times
- Deployment tooling just kind of sucks less than it used to
- Merged scap backport
- scap stage-train \o/
- Finally got rid of the generic service-pipeline-* jobs and migrated remaining 23 projects to use bespoke `.pipeline/config.yaml` based jobs
- gitlab-a-thon
- We found a a whooooole lot of blockers
- Dan being a good open-source citizen: https://github.com/moby/buildkit/pull/2868
- JWT implements oauth2
- Could be used to authorize push access to namespace based on project path
- Root access on phabricator
- Updated Jenkins for Security—which broke Jenkins for a while
- I think I finally remember how to use a standalone puppetmaster
- ERC going well and DEI moving ahead
- Dan got changes to buildkit merged upstream
- Seems like we're pretty close to how auth will work for publishing images from GL
- serviceops are plodding ahead on GitLab physical machines
- CI for blubber in gitlab
- update scap backport to work with new zuul plugin
- new tests for scap backport
- scap tests run without deprecation warnings (for stretch, buster, and bullseye)
- Giuseppe plans to enable always-restart-php-fpm on Thursday.
- Docs for GitLab are somewhat less crappy than they were a week ago
- Upgraded Gerrit in train-dev to match production
